'''Ummah (Arabic: أمة‎ [ˈʊmmæ])''' is an Arabic word meaning "community". It is distinguished from shaʻb (شعب [ʃæ'b]), which means a nation with common ancestry or geography. Thus, it can be said to be a supra-national community with a common history.
The '''Intra-Islamic Dialogue Conference''', held on February 19–20, 2025, in Manama, Bahrain, marked a significant step towards fostering unity and dialogue within the [[Islamic world]]. The event was hosted under the patronage of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and was organized by [[Al-Azhar Al-Sharif]], [[the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs]] in [[Bahrain]], and the Muslim Council of Elders. The conference's theme, “One Nation, One Shared Destiny,” encapsulated its core objective of promoting [[Islamic unity]] and addressing shared challenges.
It is a synonym for ummat al-Islām (أمة الإسلام, 'the Islamic community'), and it is commonly used to mean the collective community of Islamic people. In the Quran the ummah typically refers to a single group that shares common religious beliefs, specifically those that are the objects of a divine plan of salvation. <ref>Houtsma, M. Th (1987). E.J. Brill's First Encyclopaedia of Islam, 1913–1936. Brill. pp. 125–126. ISBN 9004082654. </ref>  In the context of pan-Islamism and politics, the word ummah can be used to mean the concept of a Commonwealth of the Believers (أمة المؤمنين ummat al-muʼminīn).
